Sounds like measles if it it contagious as you say.
Is there a fever cough, runny nose associated with it?
But your doc must have ruled that out.
It could be allergy related.
Anything new in your diet lately?
Been exposed to dust?
Benadryl is good for allergic reactions.
The treatments for Eczema are in the below site,
include Moisturizing (dry skin is often a cause)
Again allegy related via exposure to dust mites.
Be careful not to abrade the skin with washcloths etc.

Have you been anywhere that you could have gotten into poison ivy or poison oak??? The sticky stuff on the leaves causes horrible rashes and can move when you scratch different places. And it STAYS ON YOUR CLOTHES and you can get it 2 years from now if you touch those clothes.
Have you cleaned a closet where you could have gotten into some clothes or camping gear that might have been used in a wooded area???
If so it will not go away on its own. Bath and wash everything you and the family has touched. Calimine lotion will help, Aveno bath is good and soothing. I had to get steroid shots when I last encountered this lovely plant gathering wild flowers.
Lots of luck. Go back to your doctor!!
